98th Annual Ronalds (film nominations)

Status
Not open for further replies.
I liked Prometheus, but the last five films in the franchise aren't exactly tough competition. AVP and AVP: Requieum are awful, and the third and fourth standalone films were simply okay.

Finally some winners I can get behind - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Spiders - although I must say I'm a bit surprised by the latter winning best screenplay. It's a pretty preposterous spy/adventure movie (both parts are, of course) and the plot wasn't all that coherent. Then again, parts of it are missing today. Still, I would have expected it to win best cinematography rather than best screenplay.
 
Nothing drains morale more than missing parts of a major movie. :cool: But I'm still determined to someday get hold of whatever is left of GREED.

Well, so far Battleship Potemkin & Nosferatu are the only ones I have seen, both were very interesting, you can see their influence reverberating throughout the 20th century in film.

I'll know a lot more as you get into the 30s and 40s, the 40s being one of my favourite decades of film and music.
 
Nosferatu bores me to tears. Battleship Potemkin is a much more dynamic movie. I've also seen The Gold Rush. It's probably my favorite of the three; among early cinema, Chaplin most often endures.
 
I totally approve of the love for Nosferatu and especially Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler (one of my favourite movies). :D I've been less impressed with Eisenstein than I should be but I have a hard time getting over the obvious propaganda angle of his movies. It seriously hampered my enjoyment of them - that's also true for other movies made under similar conditions. But I do understand why Potemkin sweeped the awards. I would have expected a bit more for The Hands of Orlac. I must confess that I haven't seen many of the nominated movies from the 20s (and it's quite possible that some of them don't even exist anymore). I really need to watch Greed.
 
Oh, Soviet cinema was certainly didactic -- especially with Eisenstein's conception of what cinema should be -- but I find the visual power of the Odessa Steps sequence hard to argue with. It's no surprise that so many films have either paid homage to it or just stolen it outright. Some of Eisenstein's other films are less impressive, though, and his writing is at times a total mess.

It also helps to see the movie with a different score than what's currently on the DVD, I think (or, at least, the version I've heard on DVD). That can make a big difference with silents, but recording an orchestral score is financially untenable for most of them. Metropolis is a terrific exception to that rule, since it is so well known.
 
Yes, some of the experiments regarding the score of silent movies are pretty horrible. There was also a version of Metropolis with rather annoying electronic music before the remaster before the recovery of most of the missing parts. The version of Nosferatu I own (a UK version I bought because at the time there wasn't a German version available on DVD) also comes with an annoying modern score I always have to mute.
Metropolis also is an exception because the original score is so interconnected with the movie. Its composer was present during the making of the movie and wrote some of it basically on set in accordance with the rhythm of the movie. That makes it much more impressive, I think, and the whole movie more of a masterpiece.
However, it isn't necessary to employ a whole orchestra for the score of a silent movie. For the DVD of Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler they had a new score composed and recorded (because the original score is lost) which consists of piano and a very small string section. I love it and it fits the movie really well.
 
This begs the question: when METROPOLIS was re-released with the '80s music, was that version 30 minutes shorter because of MTV short attention spans, or were the other minutes actually still missing at the time? My 1990 VHS ran two hours, but more missing moments have been unearthed since.

Mmh, I really have to ask - are those authentic winner lists from the 20s or were those lists made after the fact? I'm asking this because Metropolis was never shown in its original form in the US back in the day. It was re-edited and its plot thereby altered considerably by Channing Pollock at Paramount. He removed the Hel storyline completely and everything he deemed communist. In his memoirs he wrote that he thought the original plot was silly and implausible. I have my doubts about it being admired in the US at the time.

It didn't fare very well in Germany at the time, either, because it was only shown for a short amount of time. A few months later, the American version was shown.

Of the other movies, I've only seen Tartuffe and Faust which are both great. Murnau FTW.

Well, as I hinted at in my previous post, parts of the film were missing until very recently - a quarter of the film actually. Most of it was discovered in an old cinema in Buenos Aires in 2008, albeit as a low-quality copy. It was quite the sensation at the time because everyone had been resigned to the fact that those parts of the film would never be recovered. This basically complete version was released in 2010 (first in cinemas, then on DVD) with the original score (shortened accordingly). Before that, there had been a release of the remastered 'most-complete' version (missing a chunk but with inserts detailing the missing scenes), also with the original score. (That was in 2001 or 2002, I think). But now it's actually a real movie again.
